The establishment of a 500 MT cold storage facility in the Lower Subansiri and West Kameng districts holds significant benefits for the local population, especially farmers and stakeholders involved in kiwi cultivation. Post-harvest infrastructure like cold storage is critical in reducing spoilage and maintaining the quality of perishable produce. This positively affects farmers’ incomes by enabling longer preservation and better market timing.
The project’s Build, Operate and Transfer (BOT) approach encourages private-sector participation while ultimately transferring the asset back to the government, ensuring sustainability and public control. By improving storage facilities, the tender supports the horticulture sector in Arunachal Pradesh, which is an important part of the local economy and food security.
For citizens, this infrastructure means more reliable supply chains, less post-harvest loss, and potentially lower prices or better availability of fresh products. These improvements contribute to rural development and strengthen the agricultural value chain, with a focus on a priority local crop — Arunachal Kiwi. The tender’s transparent and government-verified process assures the public of credible project delivery and management.
